Madryt 2017

[Hankmoody]

A Janowicza kto tu zaprosił? Do challengerów, albo najlepiej do szopy.

[DUN I LOVE]

Bardzo dużo wycofań było, więc się załapał. Chyba nic z tego nie będzie, dużo mówiło się, że łapie wiatr w żagle, ale jak do tej pory ten sezon wygląda słabo.

Ruud też przegrał.

[Barty]

Coric za to wygrzebał się z 2/6 3/5. Oprócz Maroka strasznie się meczy ze swoja grą.

[DUN I LOVE]

Szuka formy.

[Mario]

W Maroku El Amrani serwował mu na mecz, na farcie się wygrzebał, nic to nie zmieniło w jego sytuacji.

A co do Janowicza, to zawsze był zawodnik z poziomu top 50 najwyżej, po prostu kilka razy miał farta dodatkowo będąc w formie, stąd te dwa genialne występy i super ranking dzięki temu. W końcu zrobi ranking w CH, awansuje na 53 miejsce i będzie rozgrywał 3 porządne turnieje w roku. Spokojnie.

[Emu]

Turniej zapowiada się ciekawiej od MC. Ciekawe jak na tle Nadala wypadnie Kyrgios. Hiszpan w ostatnich latach nie gra nic wielkiego w Madrycie i może być do ugryzienia.
Goffin ma szansę na kolejny sensowny wynik.

Turniej zapowiada się ciekawiej od MC.

Nic nowego, jeżeli chodzi o siłę Rafy to ten ceglany turniej chyba eksponuje ją w najmniejszym stopniu (co i tak stawia go w roli faworyta, ale mimo wszystko).

Ja jednak życzę mu 6 meczów tutaj.

Kyrgios, Nadal Primed For Early Battle In Madrid

Spoiler:

Spaniard aims for fifth Madrid title
Rafael Nadal has looked untouchable this clay-court season, but he could face arguably his toughest test yet early at the Mutua Madrid Open. The 29-time ATP World Tour Masters 1000 champion is seeded to meet Australian shotmaker Nick Kyrgios in the third round.
View Draw
Kyrgios, the 16th seed in Madrid, will return to action next week after withdrawing from Estoril following the passing of his grandfather. A semi-finalist in Miami in his most recent Masters 1000 outing, Kyrgios will first need to come through an opening-round match against veteran Marcos Baghdatis and a potential second-round battle over fellow Aussie Bernard Tomic. Meanwhile, third seed Nadal could have a tricky opening match against the winner of Portugal's Joao Sousa and Italian Fabio Fognini. Although Nadal leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head 8-3, Fognini thrives on clay and has beaten Nadal twice on this surface.
Nadal and Kyrgios are even in their FedEx ATP Head2Head at 1-1, but both matches were lengthy tussles. The Spaniard prevailed in a deciding set in their lone meeting on clay last year in Rome.
Top seed and last year's Madrid runner-up Andy Murray will open his campaign against a wild card in Guillermo Garcia-Lopez or Marius Copil. He finds himself in a tricky quarter of the draw that could include a third round with flashy 13th seed Lucas Pouille and quarter-final showdown with eighth seed Dominic Thiem or 12th seed Grigor Dimitrov. Thiem upset Murray last week in the semi-finals of the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell for his first victory over a World No. 1.

Second seed and defending champion Novak Djokovic will also need to be on from the start when he begins his title defence against a clay-court expert in Tommy Robredo or Nicolas Almagro. Looming ahead is a potential third-round match with 15th seed Gael Monfils and quarter-final battle with sixth seed Kei Nishikori, who makes his debut this spring after pulling out of Barcelona with a right wrist injury.
Third seed Stan Wawrinka appears to have reversed his fortune at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events after a string of early exits last year, reaching the final at the BNP Paribas Open (l. Federer). The former Roland Garros and Monte-Carlo champion will start the week with a stern test against Benoit Paire or Pablo Carreno Busta. An in-form Jack Sock, the 14th seed, could await him in the third round. Wawrinka’s matches won’t get any easier with a possible quarter-final against seventh seed Marin Cilic.
Other intriguing first-round matches in Madrid include ninth seed David Goffin squaring off with #NextGenATP Russian Karen Khachanov, an all-French battle pitting Monfils against Gilles Simon and #NextGenATP German Alexander Zverev facing home favourite Fernando Verdasco.

Murray, Djokovic Seeking Similar Reboots In Madrid

Spoiler:

World's best looking to remain firm atop the Emirates ATP Rankings
In some ways, not much has changed for Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic since the 2016 Mutua Madrid Open.
A year later, both men still sit atop the Emirates ATP Rankings, and this year, just like last, the Scot and the Serbian are among the favourites to win the season's second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament on clay.
But in other ways, much is different for the World No. 1 and No. 2, as both players head to this week's Mutua Madrid Open seeking similar reboots to their 2017 campaigns if they plan to keep their comfortable advantages atop the Emirates ATP Rankings.
Djokovic, the 2016 Madrid champion, will be defending 1,000 Emirates ATP Rankings points, and Murray, last year's finalist, could see 600 Emirates ATP Rankings points roll off.
Both players also will be looking to regain their sky-high confidence levels that have seemingly been missing thus far in 2017. Djokovic started the year by beating Murray in Doha for his 67th career title but has struggled since, failing to reach a semi-final in his four other tournaments. Murray backed up his Doha final run with a title in Dubai but hasn't reached another final since that February crown.

But Madrid might be just the spot for their restarts to take place. Last year, Murray battled Djokovic for three sets in the Madrid final before avenging his loss to the Serb one week later in the Rome final. Djokovic then had the final say on clay, beating Murray in the Roland Garros final.
“I think the week as a whole and the clay season so far has been positive for me. I just need to try to find the way for whole weeks and not drop my intensity at certain moments,” Murray said after the Madrid final.
In 2016, Djokovic had his greatest year on the red dirt, and that run started in Madrid, where he won his 29th Masters 1000 crown and his 64th tour-level title, tying Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras on the all-time titles list. From there, Djokovic made the final in Rome and completed his career Grand Slam with his first Roland Garros title.
Should Djokovic and Murray slip in Madrid, look to the “King of Clay” to continue making up ground in the Emirates ATP Rankings. World No. 5 Rafael Nadal has been his usual stellar self on the red dirt so far this year. The left-hander won his 10th Monte-Carlo and Barcelona titles last month. He has won the Madrid title four times, best among the “Big Four” of Murray, Djokovic, Roger Federer and himself.
The Spaniard has thousands of points to gain during the next five weeks as well, after his injury-shortened clay-court stretch last season. In 2016, Nadal reached the semi-finals in Madrid, the quarter-finals in Rome and withdrew before his third-round match in Roland Garros because of a left-wrist injury.

Wczorajszy powrót nie był zwiastunem lepszego, niestety. Kukuszkin odesłał Bornę.

W MD jest za to Escobedo.

Fog set od kolejnego meczu z Rafą.

Jeszcze wierzycie w tą pokrakę?

Sousa z Fogiem też lubią na siebie wpadać w ostatnich latach. I co dziwne Fog go dość regularnie szkoli.

Prawda? Też nie wierzyłem w Fabio dzisiaj, choć ostatnio Sousa gra błoto.

Fog jest lepszy, więc teoretycznie nie powinno to dziwić, jednak biorąc pod uwagę jakie podejście do tenisa ma Włoch, to jednak bilans 5:1 dla niego dziwi. A może za sobą nie przepadają, i Fog się spina na te pojedynki, nie wiem.

W Niemczech kolejne przesunięcie (nie przed 15:30), więc rzucę okiem na Chaczanowa z Goffinem.
